Welcome to my June Income Report! Each month I publish an income report to take you behind the scenes of my online business and reveal exactly how much money I make, how much I spend and lessons learned along the way!

IMPORTANT THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN JUNE
- I took a break from listening to online marketing podcasts.
- I started to focus on my health and fitness.
- I wrote March and April Income reports.
- I launched the new 5 Day Website Challenge with a new model – free for 30 Days, $29 to upgrade to lifetime access.
- I gave Serious Side Hustlers a facelift to match the 5 Day Website Challenge.
- I tested out running Facebook Ads to the 5 Day Website Challenge.
- I booked one new Done For You client in June.
- I brought on a project manager for that one Done For You Project.
- I cancelled my monthly Pinterest contract.
- I cancelled a monthly contract with a person that helped me do Done For You Projects.
- I held webinars promoting Serious Side Hustlers, Websites That Make Money, and the Web Designer Academy resulting in no new sales.
- I began to interview guests on my podcast.
- I went to my 20 year high school reunion.
- I paid my quarterly income taxes.
- My husband and I close on 4 acres of land where we will ultimately build our dream house.
- I batch-created content so that I could take a week of vacation in July without a gap.
- I decided to start offering monthly live workshops & Q&A calls for members of Serious Side Hustlers (or that non-members can also pay to attend).
Notes I found to myself in my planner:
- “How Can I?”
- “*CONSISTENT EFFORT*”
- “‘Let me think about that and get back to you.’ ALWAYS”
- “Do fewer things better.”
- “If you ever want to come back to that conversation, I’m here for you.”
- “Automate”
REVIEW OF MY GOALS
Again, my goal each month has been to generate $10,000 in revenue because my rough breakdown to replace my old paycheck, cover business expenses and pay taxes is:
- $5000 – Income to cover my old paycheck.
- $2500 – Expenses
- $2500 – Taxes
WHAT I FOCUSED ON IN JUNE
In June, I gave my brain a breather from consuming large amounts of information about online marketing tactics and started listening to podcasts and books related to the keto diet and intermittent fasting. I also re-started Chalene Johnson’s 131 Diet, which makes me feel great!
My mind really needed that space away from business podcasts because I have a tendency to implement new ideas as soon as I hear them, and it takes away my focus!
I put a lot of time into content creation to prepare for vacation, learning Pinterest and creating the perfect pin design in June.
That being said, here’s how much money I made in June 2018:
